In the quiet of the night, shadows grow long,
Whispering secrets, a melancholic song.
The weight of the world rests heavy on my chest,
A silent burden, an uninvited guest.

Eyes wide open, yet blinded by the dark,
Searching for solace, a flicker, a spark.
The mind is a maze, with no clear way out,
Lost in the whispers, consumed by the doubt.

Echoes of laughter, now ghosts of the past,
Joy a fleeting moment, never meant to last.
The heart beats heavy, a thunderous roar,
As I sink deeper, lost on this shore.

Yet in this silence, a glimmer of light,
A promise of dawn, breaking through the night.
Though shadows may linger, and whispers may call,
Hope stands resilient, defying them all.
